REV: Obscure Movie Memed

Several days ago i started a movie meme akin to what i did months ago with a book meme-- i'm compiling bloggers' choices of their favorite "great but obscure" movies into one long post -- this one.

I wrote a mass email challenging bloggers i knew and their (and my) readers to post titles of films they have seen that they think are wonderful, that they would watch over and over, but which are obscure enough that the average person probably would not know them by name.

The end result is obvious i hope -- a list of great movies that you can take with you to the rental store to find some things you would otherwise not pick up.

I have compiled these also into a handy word document. If you'd like one just email me and i'll send you the most current version.

Finally, thanks to all the participating blogs!

And although it is not a submission/nomination per se, it was brought to my attention that fellow Texan norbizness at least reviews obscurities on a regular basis here. They're rated so you can decide for yourself which ones fits the companion category of "great." There is a lot of cross-pollination here.

Which reminds me that most of the fun (besides watching the movies) will be in reading the summaries and justifications each of the bloggers has posted at their sites. The link to the blogs below go straight to their movie postings -- so check 'em out, and then spend some time scouting around the rest of their sites.

[Note: i am bumping this for the last time on November 30, because to continue would change the link and wipe out linkage from the various participating sites. I will continue to update however, as long as i am able to find participants.]

The listI'm linking films here to their IMdB page. Several of the nominating blogs link their movies to other sites, many of them far more extensive and enlightening than IMdB.
